Boot up Raspberry Pi without login and password

If you, like me, want to connect the Raspi to a screen without having a keyboard you probably want to remove the password protection.
To do that, we only need to change a single line in the file /etc/inittab.

Changes step by step

Enter sudo nano /etc/inittab. This will open up the files content in the nano editor.

Scroll down (using cursor arrows) until you see this line: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty --noclear 38400 tty1

Add a # before this line to uncomment is and a new line below, containing: 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f pi tty1 /dev/tty1 2>&1

Hit ctrl + O confirm to save the changes by hitting enter

Hit ctrl + X to close the nano editor

Type sudo reboot

Your Raspi should now boot without prompting you for a password, if so, Congratulations! you are done!
